creating a dynamic link in ASP.NET.....how??

[jeffstl]

I have been struggling in learning .NET. I have the datagrid and repeater controls figured out, and using readers, etc.

However, I've been trying to write out a link and use a variable as one of the parameters of the querystring as I used to in classic ASP. For example:
<a href=mypage.asp?n=" & MyParameter & ">Link</a>

How can I duplicate this functionality in ASP.NET pages???

I have tried using the link1.HRef="http://www.mypage.com?n=" & MyParameter & ""

Then printing the link on the page using the <a id="link1" runat="server">

However, the compiler doesn't seem to want to convert it and I keep getting errors. Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks

OK I have also tried using session variables for this, with no luck.....very frustrating as it seems like this should be a simple task!

Compiler Error Message: BC30203: Identifier expected.

Source Error:

Line 34: Sub profilelink(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Line 35: dim CName
Line 36: CName = Session["Character"].ToString();
Line 37: response.Redirect("Scharacter.aspx?n=" & CName & "")
Line 38: End Sub

What would be even more frustrating would be to get stuck on this kind of basic problem again. That is why you need to learn the basics from a course, tutorial or book. My advice is do the hard yards now and it will pay off later. Who knows you may become an expert on this forum?

Actually I found a solution but Im not sure its a good one. I am using a literal control to print out the link.

In answer to the above question it is just a single link I am trying to print, not a table of links.

Here is what I did:
profilelink.Text = "<a href=Spage.aspx?n=" & server.UrlEncode(MyParameter) & ">Profile</a>"

Then in the page:
<asp:Literal id="profilelink" runat="server" />


Please let me know if this is an ok solution?
Thanks

u r modified code

profilelink.Text = "<a href=Spage.aspx?n='" & server.UrlEncode(MyParameter) & "'>Profile</a>"

Or best way to use server control i.e. Hyperlink control
